Basic info about quarks and gluons
3 color charges (red, green, blue)
Not real colors but e.g. qx, qy, qz that can be +qx for quarks (red) and -qx for anti-quarks (anti-red)
Hadrons have to be colorless
Baryons have all 3 colors
Mesons has a color and an anti-color
There are 8 gluons. They carry a color-anticolor e.g. red-antigreen:
Example of gluon radiation:green quark → red quark + green-antired gluon

Quark masses?
![Page 5: Quarks and Hadrons - Particle Physics · quarks and gluons 3 color charges (red, green, blue) Not real colors but e.g. qx, qy, qz that can be +qx for quarks (red) and -qx for anti-quarks](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071100/5fd96047e7fe8c393404fa63/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Two definitions
● Constituent quark mass:– The effective mass in the hadrons:
● Mp ~ 938 MeV → Mu~Md~300 MeV
● Free quark mass:– The mass if the quarks were not bound inside
hadrons (the Higgs mass)
● Nonstandard situation:– Bound state heavier than non-bound state!
– Probably we should not say bound but confined!
![Page 6: Quarks and Hadrons - Particle Physics · quarks and gluons 3 color charges (red, green, blue) Not real colors but e.g. qx, qy, qz that can be +qx for quarks (red) and -qx for anti-quarks](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071100/5fd96047e7fe8c393404fa63/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mass due to confinement
● From Heisenberg's uncertainty relation:– Δp*Δx ~ hbar
● When we confine → restrict Δx– Δx ~ 1 fm → Δp ~ 200 MeV
– And we know E = p2 + m2 so the confinement momentum dominates the energy (effective mass)

Due to (polarized) fluctuations the vacuum screens the charge!(vacuum ~ dielectric medium)
Notice the order: -, +, -!
The effect is measurable:At low energy; α ~ 1/137At high energy transfers (mZ): α ~ 1/127 This change is fully described by the theory!

In QCD there is anti-screening!(bare/”naked” charge is smaller!)
Anti-screening!
Gluons are coloredso they can self-interact!

From Leif's notes
NB! In the first calculation (that later gavethe nobel prize) they found the wrong sign and gluons was also screening.
So this is not easy to understand.

Why did we make this excursion?
● Establish background for hadrons● QCD is very strongly interacting at low
energies = everyday life● In fact so strong that no color charges can
exist free● Instead the color charges (quarks and gluons)
are confined inside hadrons!
![Page 15: Quarks and Hadrons - Particle Physics · quarks and gluons 3 color charges (red, green, blue) Not real colors but e.g. qx, qy, qz that can be +qx for quarks (red) and -qx for anti-quarks](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071100/5fd96047e7fe8c393404fa63/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD)
3 color charges (red, green, blue)
Not real colors but e.g. qx, qy, qz that can be +qx for quarks (red) and -qx for anti-quarks (anti-red)
Hadrons have to be colorless
Baryons have all 3 colors
Mesons has a color and an anti-color
A single quark cannot be observed because it has color!
The quarks are confined inside the hadrons!

The “self-interaction property” of the strong force!
Gluons are coloredso they can self-interact!

What is the different between a photon (EM force) and a gluon
(strong force)
Gluons are coloredso they can self-interact!

Exercise: How big is k?● k=1GeV/fm● What force does that correspond to in kilograms?
– mg= 1 GeV/fm => m=?

Consequences of 10 ton force!● This is why QCD is also called the strong interaction
– QCD can bind together quarks even though they are EM repulsed
● QCD is for low energies non-perturbative
– We know the theory but we cannot solve it!
– We don't know how to describe hadronic properties with QCD
● But at high energies (small distances << 1 fm) we can use perturbative QCD
● Idea: Can we create high energy matter where the quarks and gluons are the fundamental degrees of freedom
– This is also the phase of matter in the universe around 1 micro second after the big bang!
– It is first after this time that quarks and gluons “crystallize” into hadrons

Important facts about hadrons
● All interactions (EM, weak, strong) preserves the total number of quarks: Nq-Nqbar.– As this number is 0 for mesons this leads to
baryon number conservation
– Example: at LHC we collide 2 protons (baryons). In the final state there has to be exactly 2 baryons more than anti-baryons (but not necessarily 2 protons)
![Page 27: Quarks and Hadrons - Particle Physics · quarks and gluons 3 color charges (red, green, blue) Not real colors but e.g. qx, qy, qz that can be +qx for quarks (red) and -qx for anti-quarks](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071100/5fd96047e7fe8c393404fa63/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Important facts about hadrons (2/2)
● The quark flavor (u, d, s, c, b, t) is conserved in strong and EM interactions– Example:
Nu = #u quarks - # anti-u quarks is conserved
● It is not necessarily conserved in weak interactions!– Example:
n (udd) → p (uud) + e- + νe
![Page 28: Quarks and Hadrons - Particle Physics · quarks and gluons 3 color charges (red, green, blue) Not real colors but e.g. qx, qy, qz that can be +qx for quarks (red) and -qx for anti-quarks](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071100/5fd96047e7fe8c393404fa63/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Important facts about specie dependence of interactions
● Strong interactions are mediated via color: quark flavor does not matter!– All quarks: u, d, s, c, b, t interacts strongly in the same way
● EM interactions are mediated via EM charge – Charge -1: e, μ, τ
– Charge +2/3: u, c, t
– Charge -1/3: d, s, b
● Weak interactions are mainly in the same generation, e.g.: u ↔ d and e- ↔ νe
● The mass only affects kinematics!

Hierarchy of interactions
● If a decay can be strong it will be strong– Only exception is OZI rule
● If not strong but EM is allowed then it will be EM● If not strong and EM then it can be weak
